Top end UG systems
Top end UG systems
(OP)
Similar to my other thread but with a little different focus. I'd like to hear from UG NX users that have gotten new systems in 2009 that they really think are top end. How much memory, type of processors, graphics cards and monitors? What would you have changed? If you could have gotten the company to spend another $500 what would have made the biggest difference in your opinion. What seems to not have much impact?
Thanks,
Thanks,

If 32 bit, larger monitor and faster graphics card because you are memory bound. A faster CPU is only a marginal increase.
On a 64 bit system, memory, if you need it for large models. Otherwise the same as 32 bit.

I got a Dell Precision T7400 at the end the year of 2008.
Specs: 2 Intel Xeon CPU E5410 @ 2.33GHz (=2xquadcore)
6Gb RAM (3Gb switch set)
Nvidia Quadro FX 1700
Seagate 70GB HD SCSI
Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx gigabit Controller
Check out the website of Dell for different configuration and prices;
Very pleased with the configuration, the only thing i would like to change is the HD , switching to a SSD (solid State Disk) in the future.
Keep in mind that if you're working with TCE, the network speed (server config.) is also important. Load/save times.

I do not know people @ Philips Turnhout, Some @ Bornem I know.
I am contractor, and so not related to Philips, but the UG world in Belgium is very small, so we might have met @ an open House...

I hope you are running Windows7-64bit or else you wasted a lot of money on 8GB of memory.

Surely no computer salesman would allow their customers to deploy such an inappropriate configuration?

We just ordered two 28" monitors for our next system we are upgrading and will probably get similar hardware for the computer.
Thanks for the various input it was useful.
